A modern shotgun slug is a heavy lead, copper-covered lead or other material (like steel, wax, and even rubber) projectile, with and sometimes without a plastic tip, that sometimes may appear to be rifling, but these are special cuts in the slug to let it deform when passing through a tight choke.

Slugs are intended for use in a shotgun which is most often used for hunting. The first effective modern shotgun slug was developed by a man by the name of Wilhelm Brenneke in 1898 it is his design that till this day remains in use. A shotgun slug is typically far bigger than a rifle bullet. One common 30-06 (rifle) bullet, for example, weighs 150 grains or (10 g). The lightest common 12 gauge shotgun slug is the 7/8-oz slug, which weighs approximately 383 grains or (25 g).

Here we have what has been deemed the “juicer round” as the slugs look like a hand juicer or sorts. They did half of the shots in a low brass and the other in high brass shells. The slugs themselves are aluminum and brass that were custom build in a CNC machine.
